I do agree that there is at least a part of the equation that people value MIN SIZE cards less out of ignorance of what it means. But I don't agree that we should consider something material just because someone mistakes that fact for a material fact.
But how else can you define materiality other than by what buyers consider important? I mean sure, maybe they shouldn't, but if they do, they do.
